What Causes Dysbiosis?

There are many things can can cause an imbalance in your microbial colonies resulting in dysbiosis; the following are the most common:

Antibiotics & Medications

Infrequently used medications, especially antibiotics, tend to negatively affect one’s gut flora.

High Stress Levels

Stress and anxiety may weaken your immune system, making it harder for the body to fight off invasive bacterias.

Unbalanced Diet

Any dietary shift that increases the amount of sugars, proteins or additives will put the body at risk for dysbiosis.

How to Recognize Dysbiosis

Some symptoms of Dysbiosis are mild and temporary, such as an upset stomach. Others are more severe, and will require suitable treatment.

Abdominal Pain

Discomfort in the abdominal region is a common symptom of Dysbiosis. Severity can range from manageable to extremely unpleasant.

Bloating

A struggling digestive system makes one susceptible to excessive gas build up, which can often use the mouth to exit the body.

Diarrhea

Imbalanced microbiota will often make themselves known through regular, uncomfortable spells of diarrhea.

Dysbiosis: Tips & Remedies

Dysbiosis may be difficult to manage without the help of a health care provider, but there are a few things you can try.

Learn to relax

Many believe that adopting calming practices, such as meditation and yoga, will relieve stress and help the body better absorb nutrients, thus bring relief to dysbiosis.

Avoid bacteria killing products

Environments that are overly sterile may work against your own good bacterias fighting to correct the internal imbalance.

Consider antibiotics

Some cases of dysbiosis require the aid of an antibiotic, however antibiotics can also trigger dysbiosis, so it is vital you use a quality probiotic when taking this route.

How to Prevent Dysbiosis

Anyone who has suffered dysbiosis will tell you prevention is something to get on board with, sooner rather than later.
